Patent CHARLES WESLEY SHARP, 0F HXLTON, ONTARIO; CANAD;

NNREFILLIBLE BOTTLE.

Application :ned .august e, 192e. seran No. @2.245.

To all whom z't may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. SHARP, a citizen of the Dominion of Canada, residing at Hamilton, in the county of Wentworth and Province of Ontario, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in N onreillable Bottles, of which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to a bottle which when filled and corked cannot he tampered with without breaking the neck thereof.

The object of my invention is `to provide a bottle in which the cork is locked against tampering with until itis desired to open the bottle.

A further object is to provide a bottle by which customers will at once .know as to whether it has been refilled or whether it is the original filling from the user of the bottle.

With these and other objects in View,

the invention consists in the construction,

combination and arrangements of arts as will be hereinafter fully describe illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the cla-im hereunto appended.

Figure 1 is a sectional View of my invention after it has been corked and sealed by the original users', and

F ig. 2 is a corresponding sectional view in which is illustrated the neck of the bottle after the seal has been broken.

Referring to the drawings like numerals designate like parts .in the various draw-r is a bottle made of glass or any similar material which is used to form containers for liquids and which are molded into shape. This bottle may be of any desired sha e or size but is provided with a neck 4 w ich is preferably annular in cross section but may be of any particular shape desired. In molding this neck an extension 5 is formed which leaves a small groove 6 interiorly of the lower end of the extension 5 and exteriorly of the upper portion of the neck 4. ln this groove I provide a ring of rubber or any lother suitable packing 7, the purpose of which will hereinafter 'construction of my invention wi be mentioned. The extension 5 is attached to the neck by a much thinner material secneck or the extension.

AIt desired the extension may be provided at opposite sides with outwardly extending `tion as at 8 than the thickness of either the portions 9 in whichv is positioned openings on the interior of the extension as at l0.

11 is a cork having an annular top to itover the upper side of the extension 5. The

` body port1on. l2 of the cork extends down interiorly of the extension 5' and is providedwith a transverse opening as at 14. I

Positioned inside this transverse opening' when desired, corkin the bottle up isa coil spring 15 and loc ing pins 16.

After the bottle has been iilled, a cork 17 is positioned interiorly of the neckas indicated in the drawings. The spring opposite the openings 10, the locking ins4 16 will be tensioned outward so that t eir outer ends will tit into these openings and thus lock the cork or seal against removal or further pressing downward. if desired,

a ring 18 may be positioned between the upper side of the extension 5 and the under side of the annular top of the cork or seal 11.

- When it is desirous to open the bottle, it will be necessary to ress downward on the cork or seal 11 su cient to break the connection 8 between the neck of the bottle 4 and the extension 5. In 'breakin this the washer 6 prevents any glass sp intering over the cork 17. The cork 17 then can be pulled in the ordinary manner and if desired the extension 5 may be used as indicated in Fig. 2 or can be dispensed with.

From the foregoing it is thou ht that the libe clearly understood, and, therefore, 't more extended explanation has been omitted.

What I claim as new is:

A container provided with e, neck, an

extension formed from said neck, a much less'tnesistant portion being between said neck and said extension, a packing ring between the upper portion of said neck and the lower portion of said extension, a cork fitted into the up r end of said extension and a means for gol/cking said cork against removal so that said portion must be broken before the cork in seid neck can be withdrawn.y

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence 'of two witnesses.
